note 1207 modified in mkdir by ronabop

This is an annotation from Stig Bakken: The mode on your directory is affected by your current umask. It will end up having (<mkdir-mode> and (not <umask>)). If you want to create one that is publicly readable, do something like this: $oldumask = umask(0); mkdir('mydir', 0777); // or even 01777 so you get the sticky bit set umask($oldumask); http://www.php.net/manual/function.mkdir.php
